Week 43: LeBron Dumps the Lakers, World Cup Showdowns & Baseball's Greatest Oddballs

In Episode 43 of The Extra Point, LeBron James tells the Lakers, "it's not you, it's me," and immediately launches the NBA's latest superstar guessing game. Where will the King spend his record-breaking 24th season? The Croz break down the leading contenders, massive free-agent moves, and blockbuster trades that could reshape the league.

Meanwhile, the World Cup field has been cut from 48 teams down to 16, and Team USA is preparing for a massive showdown with Belgium. In Major League Baseball, managers and general managers are getting fired, and the White Sox are somehow a first-place team after recently setting the all-time record for losses.

The long segment goes into the wonderfully weird world of baseball history. Meet Rube Waddell, the Hall of Fame pitcher who chased fire trucks, wrestled alligators, abandoned games to pet dogs, and somehow still dominated hitters. We'll also revisit Disco Demolition Night, 10-Cent Beer Night, the Kissing Bandit, bizarre baseball injuries, legendary Yogi Berra quotes, and the chaos that makes baseball unlike any other sport.
